| - Whether you're looking for an alternative to Starbucks, is vegetarian or vegan, or just simply need a different spot to low key hangout with a friend, this place will cater to your needs.
Located off to the side in a not very busy road off Square One Shopping Centre, it can be easy to miss but there's ample parking here.
This spot is supposed to offer "healthier" alternatives for hot and cold coffees, teas, smoothies, and light snacks such as sandwiches and tacos. The drinks and snacks are surprisingly more delicious for what one might expect as a non-vegetarian. They even have vegan cheese and gluten free choices if celiac disease or gluten intolerance is a concern.
Small menu, but you can't really go wrong with any of the choices. All the drinks pack a punch of flavour. Some baked vegan goods are also available for purchase.
They have a variety of tacos and sandwiches - all are good but my winning choice would be the classic Grilled Cheese with add-on mushroom for $1 more (though the Vegan Reuben comes a close second if you prefer something saltier). If you do go for a taco, my choice would be the portobello mushroom version. And I would pair this with my dirty matcha drink (made with almond milk as no cow or soy milk available here!).
Keep in mind that the prices reflect the niche it serves (roughly $10 for a drink and sandwich or taco). The snacks are not a large portion, filling enough for 1 or to share as an app for 2, but does not substitute for a full meal.
Come here if:
- Need free WiFi with a brightly lit space to talk or work
- Crave something else other than your generic coffee or smoothie
- You or your guest(s) is/are vegetarian or vegan
- You can afford to splurge on buying a premium drink and snack
